The topic of motors and motor control techniques is wide and varied. Part one of this two-part article will cover the principles of alternating-current (AC) motor operation and control. Part two will ...

Motors and their associated equipment must be protected against both overload and overcurrent (short circuit or ground fault). This function is usually split, with ...

Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) is a solution that guarantees a low emission as well as a fuel consumption optimization, for small motors that, otherwise, can be very polluting. This fact underlines ...

A dynamometer is a testing device that helps engineers collect data for various mechanical loading conditions that a motor or engine might encounter in a particular application. Other than testing the ...

Seems like today the debate between going with a stick or an auto in a classic Chevy is more heated than ever. With the advent of better electronics, mechanical innovations, and the natural ...

An introduction to the symmetric, multiphase, wound-rotor “synchronous” doubly-fed motor or generator system, called SYNCHRO-SYM. How SYNCHRO-SYM is only possible with brushless, automatic, ...

When motors start across the line, they typically draw five times the running current. This temporary “inrush” is an overload condition. To handle inrush while still providing adequate overcurrent ...
